I have recently downloaded netscape 6 then uninstalled it. I already have IE 5.5 installed. When I downloaded web images using Netscape as a browser, they were saved as Mozilla jpeg (with an 'N' letter in a square icon) which opened with an error message but nevertheless opened. Then after Uninstalling Netscape, Images on IE are still saved as Mozilla jpeg but I cannot open them as netscape.exe is missing. Is there anyway to convert the saved jpeg files to a form that can be opened using IE as it used to be before ? please help..!!

Try changing the extension on one of the files, (to .jpg) and see if it opens with your default JPEG viewer.

If that works, and you only have a few images saved, then just change the extension on them one at a time.
If you have a number of imagefiles, there are freeware file utilities that can be used to rename a number of files at once.

If changing the extension works, I would then go into Windows Explorer/tools/folder options/file types and remove the netscape file association for .jpn.

Not knowing what image viewers or editors that you have, it is hard to make other suggestions for you.

There are several freeware and shareware image viewer and format convertor applications out there.

A couple of good freeware sites are;
